  The Nobel Prize in Physics 2001         Cooling of alkali atoms towards BEC   Particles or Waves? Both! Light is often described as waves, but it can also be described as a stream of light particles, photons. Matter is also characterised by this dualism. In the 1920s, Louis de Broglie suggested…

I was born on March 26, 1951 in the small town of Corvallis, Oregon. A number of years earlier my newly wed parents N. Orr and Alison Wieman, like somewhat belated pioneers, had driven their decrepit car across the country to settle deep in the forests of the Oregon coastal range. My father began working…

   The Nobel Prize in Physics 2001     The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for 2001 jointly to Eric A. Cornell, Wolfgang Ketterle and Carl E. Wieman “for the achievement of Bose-Einstein condensation in dilute gases of alkali atoms, and for early fundamental studies of the properties…

  The Nobel Prize in Physics 2001       The Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose had made some statistical calculations concerning light particles, photons. He sent his results to Albert Einstein, who translated them and made sure they were published. He also extended the theory to include material particles.   The air between you…

  The Nobel Prize in Physics 2001       Left: Ketterle’s first atom laser. Centre and right: later results from other laboratories.     The atomic laser When the laser was invented some forty years ago, no-one envisaged its many areas of application today. A laser emits coherent light; could coherent matter be utilised…
